Kinetic DX EV vs Bajaj Chetak vs Ather Rizta : Electric scooters make a cool buzz in the Indian market now-a-days with new launches all around, and 2025 is that big year for EV lovers. Three scooters, amongst all, are making news while one or the other – Kinetic DX EV, Bajaj Chetak, and Ather Rizta. Each has its own combo of design, technology, and performance. So, which scooter is best for you? The following is a detailed comparison of the three.
Design and Looks
The Kinetic DX was the historic comeback of the Kinetic brand in an all-new modern electric avatar. Its relatively simple yet very practical design will appeal to daily commuters. Bajaj Chetak, on its part, themes itself to its retro past but couples it all into a very upscale and classy look with a metal body. Ather Rizta is all fresh and modern and family-oriented in design with more space and comfort than its two counterparts. If premium styling is a preference, then Chetak stands out, while Rizta ranks highest on practicality.
Performance and Range
Performance is one of the key areas for an EV. The Kinetic DX EV gives a promise of somewhere up to 100 km range for city rides. The Bajaj Chetak offers real-life tested ranges in the 108-120 km range, along with smooth performance and reliability. What differentiates the Ather Rizta, however, is that it features different battery configurations and also boasts of higher efficiency, promising ranges beginning at up to 150 km, depending on the variant. For the rider who loves taking long rides while not charging for a while, the Rizta is a clear winner.
Features and Technology
The Kinetic DX EV believes in keeping it straightforward, offering rudimentary digital instrumentation alongside practical features. The Bajaj Chetak gets this premium feel given its stand-out feature profile including TFT display, connected tech alongside really solid quality in the build. The Ather Rizta is packed to the brim with everything, such as having a massive touchscreen in a connected app, with numerous riding modes, and even design geared toward being storage-friendly for families. The Rizta leads in terms of smart features, followed by the Chetak.
Comfort and Practicality
Kinetic DX EV is lightweight and easy to it. It is for beginners and short commutes. The Bajaj Chetak is very decent in comfort, but the make of the Bajaj Chetak is more towards style than the build quality or the comfort. In terms of what Ather Rizta provides, this motorcycle is catering mainly to families because it has wide space on its seats, more storage, and comfortable suspension both for longer rides. If practicality matters to you, Rizta comes out on top.
If looking for a budget-friendly EV and easy to handle, then Kinetic DX EV comes into picture. Stylish and premium is the Bajaj Chetak. But for the best feature-rich scooter with highly advanced technical work and practical use for families, it is Ather Rizta that takes this honor.
